[12:01:55] login hey ComputerTech

[12:04:42] login sory to hear that Frogorg

[12:06:24] login looking forward to this weekend?

[12:31:17] login hi irish666

[14:06:37] login or drink water

[14:06:51] login ^ denko

[14:07:06] login do you get the reference, CT?

[14:07:52] login CT: but you're using that denko guy's emoticons

[14:08:30] login irish666: is it a cramp?

[14:09:15] login eggs and toast, wof?

[14:11:50] login how do you pronounce it, CT?

[14:11:55] login til-dee, or tilled?

[14:12:35] login as in, t-aisle-duh?

[14:12:56] login it mean ssh'ing into join@tilde.green and having the full flow be over ssh

[14:12:58] login no web form

[14:14:15] login that gets received via an email, CT

[14:14:19] login after admin approval

[14:14:38] login is sweden a part of the schengen?

[14:15:22] login why not move to new zealand

[14:16:21] login jmjl: oh? that could be a bug or an actual invite system

[14:17:01] login if you want to retire, thailand is cheap

[14:17:13] login and modern enough

[14:17:47] login if looking for anglophone, then singapore (but it's too expensive)

[14:18:16] login jmjl: maybe they let you go through the flow but don't create the account if the invite code is already used or expired

[14:18:28] login What's a cheap anglophone country to retire in?

[14:18:37] login vietnam

[14:18:47] login not anglophone, but still cheap

[14:19:14] login Australia isn't cheap either, but it could work -- it's anglophone too

[14:19:37] login they'd have to make a large investment

[14:19:53] login yes

[14:20:07] login they even called the visa 888 (because chinese use it)

[14:20:45] login ComputerTech: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/business-innovation-and-investment-888

[14:20:50] login 'investor stream'

[14:21:20] login > you must have held a designated investment of AUD1.5 million for 4 years

[14:22:25] login spouse can tag along, CT

[14:22:31] login so, couple

[14:22:48] login Here's the one to get in: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/business-innovation-and-investment-188

[14:22:59] login the 888 is after being invited to be permanent

[14:23:31] login if you become permanent though, CT, all kinds of taxes

[14:23:35] login on your worldwide assets

[14:23:57] login but on a temporary visa, no capital gains tax

[14:24:09] login and no taxes on foreign passive/rental income

[14:25:04] login the only tax on a temporary visa is if you work for income in australia, or work for a foreign company and get paid into your foreign bank account, or if buying/selling australian property, and australian property rental income

[14:25:43] login They don't want millionaire family's students coming into the country on a temporary visa and their assets in the family's children's name getting taxed

[14:26:24] login > AUD2.5 million that meets certain requirements if you were invited to apply on or after 1 July 2021

[14:28:34] login There is this requirement too: > score at least 65 on the points test

[14:30:29] login Try it out, CT, with your lawyer: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/tools/points-calculator

[14:30:47] login It's not a hard age requirement, but it does make a difference: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/business-innovation-and-investment-188/points-table

[14:34:09] login > Be under 55 -- so there was an age requiremet

[14:58:30] login Ahsoka: going blind or after reviews?

[16:39:23] login an uber eats voucher

[16:39:39] login a netflix licence

[16:39:45] login *gift card

[16:40:18] login Ahsoka: good point

[16:40:32] login hey freewifi1

[16:40:45] login Maybe an Apple gift card?

[16:40:51] login ComputerTech is an apple user right?

[16:41:04] login well, first time for everything

[16:41:15] login I can imagine CT getting into XCode and iOS

[16:41:48] login what will you buy with a google play gift card?

[16:41:54] login locked-in movies?!

[16:42:08] login yeah, i didn't consider youtube red

[16:42:26] login I think a frame.work laptop will be good for Ct

[16:42:36] login the one where you assemble it yourself

[16:43:10] login CT could go to Turkey

[16:43:31] login freewifi1: card

[16:43:39] login many don't have conversion fees

[16:44:00] login What would be something that CT would love? A new GPU?

[16:44:14] login Ahsoka: correct, it's someone you know, not a rando

[16:44:26] login A rizz book then?

[16:44:41] login Well, that can happen too irish666

[16:45:00] login How come, irish666?

[16:45:10] login oh

[16:45:17] login took justice into his own hands

[16:45:33] login irish666: a crime of passion

[16:45:42] login CT: can be used to launder money

[16:45:51] login many gift cards cannot be bought inter-country

[16:46:14] login Ahsoka: did they really attack it? Were they muslim parents?

[16:46:43] login Maybe a hardware wallet will be a good gift for CT

[16:46:46] login or a Yubikey

[16:47:27] login If they taught it too well, it would be 'counterproductive'

[16:47:49] login People might start questioning plurality voting

[16:49:58] login tbh, stock is the best gift

[16:50:37] login maybe a bangle made of silver

[16:50:42] login would CT wear that?

[16:51:26] login bracelet

[16:51:37] login but solid

[16:51:55] login a free dental checkup and cleaning gift card -- could work

[16:52:57] login Would CT be happy with a nail salon gift card? he may never have had a manicure or pedicure in his life

[16:53:06] login best to try it once at least, just to see what it is

[16:53:45] login A watch or tie could work

[16:54:25] login it wouldn't pain

[16:54:30] login maybe you'd like your nails after that

[16:54:34] login an apple watch or a samsung dial?

[16:54:40] login oh, google's brand

[16:54:52] login i was going to suggest an external portable hard disk

[16:55:04] login for CT's computer backup

[16:55:42] login Google products do vanish

[16:55:54] login feeling for yahoo mail useders

[16:56:21] login yes

[16:56:39] login i think a hardware wallet could do CT some good

[16:57:04] login I can't wait for CT to go "full Apple" after being gifted an apple watch

[16:57:53] login He drinks beer like water

[16:58:34] login What about a gold coin as a gift, that could work

[16:58:40] login with his face inscribed on it

[17:01:03] login After a lot of thinking, I think an external hard disk, or a very cheap smart-watch (i'm talking - https://www.mi.com/global/product/mi-watch/) would be the best gift

[17:05:31] login yes

[17:05:55] login mi smart band

[17:06:12] login they didn't abandon it like google; they sold the software of it

[17:06:26] login yeah, the ToS is eggregious, just like google's

[17:07:49] login i wonder which watches allow you to unlock the bootloader

[17:08:27] login one difference between a smart watch and an ankle bracelet is that you choose the first one and whom you share the data with

[17:08:47] login if buying as a status symbol, nothing else comes close to the apple watch

[17:09:42] login yup, it wouldn't be profitable as its own enterprise

[17:10:00] login do google's work without a phone

[17:10:28] login at least we know samsung won't retire products because koreans use them

[17:10:48] login same with xiaomi, because chinese mainland residents use them

[17:11:00] login and apple, because rich people use htem

[17:11:58] login just get him a 4 TB toshiba USB 3.0 (type A) external HDD, and he will make it valuable by saving his computer's data (backup)

[17:12:29] login but he's looking to move

[17:12:49] login does one even get a desktop computer prebuilt? it's almost always better to build one

[17:13:10] login about computer tech

[17:13:29] login i think a frame.work laptop (the version that you have to build yourself) could be good too

[17:13:47] login is he a hacker or a hack

[17:14:09] login and that laptop can never go old, you can buy parts and upgrade it, including cpu

[17:14:36] login CT: apologies, i know you're a hacker

[17:14:55] login so he never instantiated the class?

[17:15:17] login if it's in js, it's different

[17:15:22] login js doesn't have classes, only objects

[17:16:39] login hey, look at that, they added classes; https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes

[17:16:57] login he should say he manages, not owns

[17:17:04] login blogger

[17:18:05] login Do you like writing software, CT?

[17:18:12] login or gluing things together, system administration?

[17:18:55] login did you use version control when developing it?

[17:19:24] login did you use git locally?

[17:19:41] login he's a hobbyist, you'd laugh at mine

[17:19:55] login do you want to see mine?

[17:20:02] login https://github.com/login000/tcoin

[17:20:56] login github desktop

[17:21:17] login he's a gui-user, yet he doesn't use apple products

[17:21:31] login it's not like he's using debian or ubuntu, are you?

[17:22:02] login He needs a mentor to get him familiar with how the workflow should be

[17:22:08] login MAGIC: yeah

[17:22:21] login Otherwise, it will be a case of 'doesn't know how to fix an engine' but for software

[17:22:33] login There are so many software engineers in Ireland

[17:22:43] login You gotta find someone your parents or someone else knows

[17:23:02] login by ethanol

[17:23:59] login h4: is it not <something>ToTheBone?

[17:24:42] login LuvIsBadToTheBone

[17:25:12] login Nice! https://github.com/LuvIsBadToTheBone?tab=followers

[17:27:26] login sue for $0.01

[17:27:45] login ublock origin?

[17:27:55] login I didn't know there were so many hobbyist coders here

[17:28:26] login i mean, some were into real estate and stuff

[17:28:37] login Better than yes men

[17:28:48] login as long as it's constructive

[17:29:40] login Is it a time-preference-thing?

[17:29:52] login fix it now, i'm losing time... that kind of thing

[17:30:18] login nobody

[17:30:49] login well, he has a lot to learn, and some mentorship and classes would improve his foundational knowledge enough for him to learn by himself

[17:30:54] login autodidacts are rare

[17:31:34] login submit a pull request

[17:31:46] login DDOS it

[17:32:13] login oh, how did he make a github.io page send a cookie?

[17:32:42] login morning foxy

[17:33:28] login good noon

[17:33:54] login hey, did you have a morning dream?

[17:34:17] login oh, sorry to hear foxy

[17:37:47] login A sewing kit can be a great gift too

[17:39:10] login the cheeks are the best part, obviously
